    that being said homestuck crash and burn was right after one of the best updates it ever had and so this slow motion **** with overwatch is killing me

  • maid_OW Tammy Saint Serene (@maid_OW) reported

    Competitive Overwatch I think had(has) the most disconnect between what reddit/media/public commentators thought was going on and the actual reality

  • Icepickdanza Patrick Argonar (@Icepickdanza) reported

    @JezCorden My concern isn't CoD, my concern is all the other games. CoD SHOULD be everywhere, it's closer to minecraft. I see Diablo and Overwatch as similar to Elder Scrolls/Starfield. Why multiplat? Crash and Spyro fill in portfolio gaps. Why make multiplat? The rest baffle me IF multi

  • bitchrate Crucible Certified Canine Combat AI (@bitchrate) reported

    this isn't the only issue obviously but being someone who actually really likes pvp stuff? i sincerely and honest to god have never seen worse balancing in a pvp game. even overwatch was never this busted.

    @Shadow1x_ GGs! if you play anymore today, your gonna lag. I'm jumping on Overwatch :)

  • The_Syrups junior (@The_Syrups) reported

    @dax_christensen @ezralevant I’m a supporter of the protests. The “snipers” are what I believe is called overwatch. It may seem excessive but it is likely prudent protection. This is a highly emotionally charged situation (thanks PMJT) and it only takes one rogue to cause problems.

  • swiftbox13 swift (@swiftbox13) reported

    @MldGhost @XcloudTimdog I can understand Call of Duty and Overwatch being multiplatform since they have big multiplayer communities, but I see your point on single player only games (Crash Bandicoot, Spyro etc) becoming Xbox exclusive.

  • oomfienator mel ☀️💭 (@oomfienator) reported

    booted up my broken pc for the first time in a year after having it sit in a closet the whole time, noticed my gpu temp was fine (it was 80c idle before, started playing an overwatch match and had 144fps at 100% res when i had to play with less than 60fps at 50% res before,

  • domojrr domo🧩 (@domojrr) reported

    @thiiinkiing The fix to overwatch is to add horses like paladins

  • syafeeq17 Syafeeq & Pengakhiran Seorang Pencuri (@syafeeq17) reported

    Everytime lootbox issue came out, mesti Overwatch yang kena. Overwatch is probably the only game that make lootbox right. I can't think of any other games that implement lootboxes better than Overwatch.

  • selnor1983 Richard Loveridge (@selnor1983) reported

    @DoWhatYouDo6 @XcloudTimdog Really? I think the majority of Xbox fans said COD would stay MPlat. And expected other big 40 million player games like Overwatch and Diablo would as well. MS have confirmed popular games would as we expected. Non popular games like Crash, Spyro etc will be exclusive

  • Bearhuggerus Bearhugger (@Bearhuggerus) reported

    @Sophbox I mean Overwatch was pretty much a live service game. Live service games and sequels don't go well together, especially if they have mts as well

  • dave_warhammer WarhammerDave (@dave_warhammer) reported

    @HazzadorGamin Not seeing anyone say it's bc of COD but ALL other ABK games asWell Alot are now worried about is Bethesda big games even exclusive? Is Starfield just timed now? If it's only COD and Overwatch most won't care but if it's diablo, starcraft, crash, spyro then Bethesda will follow

  • frankie_edgarV FRANKIE. (@frankie_edgarV) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent when overwatch 2 drops y’all need to fix the matchmaking system. I can’t level up if I’m consistently placed with players who aren’t playing the objective and strictly going for kills.

  • gothboylux sadboy luxas (@gothboylux) reported

    I don’t even wanna play overwatch man. I hate being alive so much. How do I even ******* fix that?

  • TyAries_ Ty’Aries 🦖𝗣𝗡𝗚𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗿 (@TyAries_) reported

    Tournament is delayed. League is still going apparently? Overwatch shut down temporarily cause of suspicious DDOS of the event? Apex probably won’t be until 8pm EST

  • kenmashoodies Mercy✨doing commissions ^^🎴 (@kenmashoodies) reported

    Sorry for the sudden rant lol it just pissed me off :’) As a Mercy main of 4+ years, this is just a big joke. I’d like to hear other opinions though. I get they’re trying to “fix” Mercy but this is definitely not the way #Overwatch

  • XBTdragon Ash Attwater (@XBTdragon) reported

    @RsKyLuck @BelongArenasUK Rejigging tekken and Overwatch due to last min roster issues

  • truegamer79 Truegamer79 # new year, creating happy memories. (@truegamer79) reported

    @MethodicalMemes Cod money is exclusive to xbox. Thats for me enough. So is diablo, overwatch, spyro, crash and all other ips day one and never leaving in gp. Talk about bragging... When we all play Xbox wins. And the Gamer for sure.

  • rkass117 Rabih K (@rkass117) reported

    @HazzadorGamin The difference is activision Blizzard has more market cap so big games like COD and overwatch might be multiplat or maybe just the live service aspect like warzone. Bethesda was like 7 billion which is not even close to the Activision deal. Bethesda games will be exclusive

  • lazylee__ aleebeinglazy🌈🕒 (@lazylee__) reported

    you just finish the match and you login to overwatch already? WTF HAHAHAHAHAHHA

  • reclusivedrag0n Matt (@reclusivedrag0n) reported

    @tamoorh I would move a few games up a tier or 2. Borderlands 2, Fallen Order, HZD. I would probably demote Overwatch now, it's a live service game so continuing support is needed for it to stay high on the list.

  • mihlowe_ milo 🦴 (@mihlowe_) reported

    im just trying to get my overwatch login whats going on

  • fashy sorry, just saw this (@fashy) reported

    @VoltsIsHere @SeoulessOW Overwatch is a stable game and should not receive any new free heroes or maps, period. It just cuts into production of OW2, a real revenue maker that has been delayed for actual years. People being bored is their problem, new player will easily get hundreds of hours of enjoyment

  • iNZANE0ne iNZANE🐯NO MORE HEROES IS MY LIFE🐯 (@iNZANE0ne) reported

    The issue with Overwatch is I do honestly wanna play. No one else playing currently does.

  • Gzprime2 Negan/The Saviors (@Gzprime2) reported

    Let me be more clear on the Activision thing. I don’t care if COD, Diablo and Overwatch stays on PlayStation. It’s if ALL games stay on PlayStation. If we get a new Prototype or a new Crash those should stay Xbox/PC. If every new game that Activision makes goes to PlayStation

  • solidunicorn6 Daddy Hercules (@solidunicorn6) reported

    Yes please overwatch. Continue to let the pros **** around with experimental and not fix any arcade or actual character ussues

  • fearthefairy99 Ruth Coppens 🎮 (@fearthefairy99) reported

    Like we play Valorant, Overwatch, Destiny, Genshin online and at the same time: no issues. The Switch needs to check if I have Nintendo Online so I can look at the games: boom, impossible
